If you want to go to Mesa for the experience and to get your feet wet not because they fly a crj or whatever else that the previous post call SJS then go. Your tired of flight instructing and you want a new adventure so by all means go to Mesa. Now,... Here's what I will agree with... Mesa is not the top dog in the kennel however mesa is IN the KENNEL just like the rest of the DOGS(Repub, SKY WEST, ASA etc). MESA just like every other regional,.. wait I don't think I said that right... just like ever other REEEEEGIIOOONALLLLL is a STEPPING STONE to get across the POND to a GREENER PASTURE(MAJORS or UPS) so for all the wise guys on here flying E170's another SJS example and CRJ 900's Next GEN.. STEP ...... off your soap box and on to a major, and leave the guys and girls on here to their OWN Decisions... Being the Serpent in the Garden of Eden is not your job they can make their own decisions!!!
Wow have you been on vacation for the last 6 months?, there will be THOUSANDS of guys on the street with unlimited 121 pic time. The stepping stone days are OVER. The pool of street guys/gals with exp far greater than doing steep turns in a 152 are daunting. So if you go to mesa you will be there for ever, and chances of a upgrade are entering the willy wonka zone. Thats reality so dont try to dress this pig up. That being said if you would rather do some 121 flying with 10 days off a month, by all means go for it, just expect to also be on the street very shortly.
